Samsung officially unveiled the world’s first smartphone to feature a curved display, Galaxy Round, about three weeks ago, and confirmed that it would be available for purchase in South Korea via SK Telecom.

Today, Samsung has released the first official commercial of Galaxy Round in said country. The same day that LG announced its G Flex curved smartphone, Samsung started to promote the Galaxy Round in South Korea.

However, unlike Samsung’s smartphone, which is only a prototype, LG G Flex will be launched in more countries after making its debut in South Korea in November.

Samsung Galaxy Round features a flexible 5.7-inch Super AMOLED capacitive touchscreen display and a quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 processor clocked at 2.3 GHz.

It also packs 3GB of RAM, 32GB of internal memory, microSD card slot for memory expansion (up to 64GB), 13-megapixel rear-facing camera and support for LTE Cat 4.
